Where does organic ground black pepper come from?

Organic ground black pepper comes from Piper nigrum, the tropical pepper plant. Contrary to what many people think, green and white pepper also come from that same plant. The difference lies in the moment of harvesting and the processing. Green pepper is picked unripe. Black pepper is picked just before the berries are ripe and then dried. White pepper is the ripe berry without its outer skin. This is why they differ in colour and flavour. After drying, the black peppercorns are ground into powder. The organically grown black pepper you buy from us comes from India.

The flavour of organic ground black pepper

Black pepper is perhaps the most widely used spice in the world. Its heat comes from piperine, a substance that occurs naturally in pepper. Ground black pepper adds a warm, spicy touch to almost any savoury dish: from soups, sauces and salads to meat, fish, eggs and vegetables. In Indian cuisine, black pepper is often used together with turmeric, a classic combination found in many curries.

What does organic cultivation mean?

This ground black pepper is certified organic. This means that no chemical pesticides are used in its cultivation. In conventional cultivation, such products are used to protect the plant against disease and insects. By choosing organic ground black pepper, you choose a spice grown without those products, and a way of farming that is less harmful to the environment.
